Hydro – Part 3, Small Hydroelectric Plants

As I frequently do in my posts, below I will focus on California, specifically what California defines as small hydroelectric plants: those that are 30 MW or smaller. Also, in California, facilities smaller than 30 MW capacity are generally considered an eligible renewable energy resource, and large hydroelectric facilities are generally not considered a renewable energy resource.
This post will start with a review of all hydro in California. Then it will review small hydro, including technology, followed by some resources for those considering a small hydro project.
